CalchargerWe boost here
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what's the difference between boosting and hitting the upvote/downvote looking buttons?
Boost is a kbin upvote, while upvote is a Lemmy upvote. So if you want promote some good content on kbin, you have to use boost
This is awful. It’s confusing.
harmoneaThis is from the various services trying to talk to each other in ways they weren't originally designed to do, really. Our "upvote" is a mastodon "favorite" (like) while our "boost" is functionally a retweet/reblog. Kbin tries to bridge the gap between threaded content and microblogging, and it gets about 90% of the way there; all it really needs to do is change it so that upvotes are the ones that contribute to reputation instead of boosts, which are functionally useless outside a fully microblog-style environment.
DoucheAsaurusLol, the developer has acknowledged it doesn't make sense at the moment and it will be changed.
Raji_LevThank goodness for that at least. It can't come soon enough
Kbin is basically still in alpha. They're fixing stuff like this. It'll be fixed soon.
